I am in a situation here, I have a qlikview file that is having a funnel chart that looks like this
but when I print the file into pdf format it looks like this
I checked the properties of the chart but can't figure out the reason why the chart is loosing colour

I am writing a macro that will automatically create a chart based off some data in a table. However, the chart format that I need to use is very complicated (20 columns of data all displayed in a particular custom format), and I don't know how to recreate that format with the chart editor, let alone VBA.
Basically, I want to be able to take an example of this chart format, and somehow get the VBA code that one would use to create a chart of this format directly in VBA, so I can include this code in the macro.
I was considering making a chart template .crtx file and including it with the spreadsheet in a .zip when the user downloads it, but templates seem to only work when they are located under User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Charts, and I don't want to put the user through having to manually move this file for the macro to work. Alternatively, if anybody knows how to get a template to work when it isn't installed in this location that would be great as well!
Thanks in advance.
Include the chart with the original format in the workbook when you send it, and put the example chart on a sheet that is very hidden.
Then, write your macro such that it creates a chart of the same type with the new data and copies the formatting of the original chart.

Note: If you're struggling with how to use vba to copy the chart formatting, record a macro while executing the instructions at the second link.
I find several links(e.g. this one) about the size or resolution of figures plot by matplotlib.
Like , we can use pl.show(), and zoom in or zoom out before we save the figure. We can see as many details as possible in this way.
However, after we specify a dpi value in pl.savefig and save the whole figure*(png format), the details like above are lost.
Even we use a svg format, the improvement is limited like
What is the best way then? After we save the figure, can we display it and adjust it like pl.show()?

The details aren't lost if you save the figure as pdf or svg, they are vector formats. Just try opening one of them in e.g. Inkscape, and you can select or edit every individual line segment.
The difference between zooming in a Matplotlib window or a saved figure is that the line width isn't re-scaled when you zoom in e.g. the saved PDF (which of course is a good thing).

If that's what you want, why not simply re-run your Python script?
I have created pagebreaks in an Excel sheet using:
ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Add
After I have done this, I get print-outs in Excel that are exactly like I want them.
But if I export the Excel sheet to PDF I get one of two scenarios:
If the content does not require scaling to fit to pages, the pages look great in PDF as well
If the content requires scaling to fit to pages, then instead of scaling, additional page breaks are created in PDF.
The second scenario is unwanted. Is it possible to send scaled pages to PDF?
I have an excel sheet with too many columns, so when I save it as a PDF the file its in too many pages and its not easy to read . I need to save the sheet as pdf but before I want to change its orientation to horizontal so I can read the pdf with no problem. Is the same you can do when you print but I want it when I save an excel file as pdf.
Is there any option I can choose?
I dont mind if someone gives me a code for a macro using my selection as an object.
Under the "Page Layout" tab, click the "Orientation" option and then select "Landscape."
Then create your PDF as usual.
You can save Excel files in PDF, even without using Excel. I use a program Universal Document Converter (http://www.print-driver.com/how-to/save-excel-as-pdf). This program allows you to quickly and easily create print-ready PDF-files on the basis of the original spreadsheets Excel.
So I'm working on this chart in Excel, and the chart looks like two sides of a triange, like the picture at the link below:
http://a.imageshack.us/img832/6207/triangle.png.
I'd like to make a line (like, with an autoshape for example) that connects the 2 endpoints to form a triange; ie a line going from coordinates (4,1) to (4,5). I tried doing this by creating a seperate data series in excel with the coordinates of the connecting line, like:
4,1
4,2
4,3
4,4
4,5
However, in excel, all lines in this chart must have the same x coordinates. Does anyone know how to get a connecting line automatically? Say, with a macro or something? Reason I ask is because I want to be able to change these coordinates, and I want the connecting line to adjust with very little effort (ideally I could write a macro and assign it to a button that when you click it would adjust the connecting line). I have some very limited macro experience, but this is just beyond me. The type of chart I'm using is a standard line chart, where the description given by excel is "Displays trends over time or categories". Anyone know of a good resource or have some advice? Thanks.
PS I solved this problem by changing the chart type to a scatter chart, but this messed up the axes and scale, and required that those be adjusted, so I think adding a line in this manner automatically will be easier.
The scatter chart worked OK.
Used formulas included in the following image.
Perhaps you should include an image showing the problems you found.
